Given this disruption, how should academics innovate in the way they go about presenting knowledge and fostering learning? How can marketers use MOOCs as an opportunity to position programs and their school’s brand? These are among the questions that I ask Vincent on FIR on Higher Education episode 11.

If you are a professor, have you changed the way you teach given new technologies? And if you are a marketer or communicator, have you been involved in a MOOC project to help in a branding effort? We would love to hear your experiences. Feel free to share in the FIR Google+ community.
